★★★★ Sophie Williams I bought the Tracy Gang 1920 boxed game premium edition. It was great! I have never hosted a murder mystery before and the pack was easy to follow. The night went smoothly. Would recommend and I would do it again.

Customer Testimonial
Hi, we certainly had a very different, but enjoyable night! Myself and one of my colleagues ran the night, but it was a lot of hard work. I would definitely recommend hiring one of your staff to do this, as I do not think we did it justice. Loved the character names and the printable invites, and everything that went with it. It was a great workplace Christmas party and everyone commented that they enjoyed it. Thanks Katie.

What is a murder mystery game?
A murder mystery game is a set of materials designed to help a host run an interactive murder mystery experience. They typically include character profiles, clues, secret information, and instructions that guide players through a fictional crime. The materials may be physical or digital and participants use these materials to uncover evidence, interact with each other, and solve the mystery.
